Because some people asked!

Now, no promises, because I am very disorganised and life has a habit of pushing what I need to do ahead of what I'd like to do, but I am going to attempt to give each of my Sashas and their brothers a moment in the limelight. It may take a very long time as there are rather a lot of them, but I will do my best.They will not appear in any specific order as I am not especially interested in year of production, stringing colour etc. and have a very poor memory for the order in which they arrived here. As dear Ted Menten once said, my favourite is the one I happen to have in my hands at any given time, so I can't start with my favourites. Nor could I begin with my least favourites because I don't think a Sasha was ever made that I don't love. ( NO, DEE, not even a saucer eyed girl!)So, because he jumped up and down and yelled about not having been out of the house this summer (Well, it has rained almost constantly. This IS Wales.) here is James, who might be my least common boy - a blue eyed Gregor dark.

He is fond of climbing, encourages flies and insects as a means of keeping his sisters at bay- as you can see from the current pet fly on his jeans - and is prone to a touch of bed-head, hence the John Deere cap. He would love to be neat, but his hair doesn't always oblige him so he often wears a hat.

The lower resolution of the only camera that didn't require battery charging, gives him a slightly hazy, thoughtful look and makes it look as though his lips are completely worn away but, in fact, it is just that the paint was applied very thinly. His eyes are slightly darker than they appear here.

James came from SashaDollUK, as most of my Sashas have done. I think he has been with me for about 6 years. He has the later brown leg stringing and white arm stringing.

Oh I am SO pleased Jenni that you have taken up the challenge! A great Trendon lad to start with too. Hello James, so pleased to meet you. He's obviously a real country lad at heart too! Reminds me of my childhood spent out and about roaming the countryside around our family home.

James is a very handsome lad to start with , I am surprised that Bertie did not push him out the way,so he could appear first.Lovely that his eye's are Blue with his brunette hair and very handsome combination, he looks very much the country boy with his John Deere tractor cap.A lovely start to the many many many posts to come :)xx

About Me

After a long and happy teaching career I had to retire because of major health issues, but a decrease in physical abilities has given me time to enjoy more sedentary hobbies.
I now live on a smallholding with my wonderful husband, giving me a beautiful environment and him rather a lot of work!
My two children flew the nest long ago but my elderly mother moved in to take their place.
My interests are many and varied, the only problem being that there just aren't enough hours in the day to work on them all.
